Only 750 spots? K-pop group TWICE’s tiny anniversary fan party draws criticism amid questions over contracts
KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 11 — K-pop girl group TWICE’s plans for a small-scale fan party marking their 11th anniver...
K-pop girl group TWICE is set to celebrate their 11th anniversary with a limited fan party in Seoul on October 17, drawing criticism from fans due to the small number of available spots. Allkpop reported that only 750 fans can attend across three sessions, each accommodating 250 individuals. The exact venue will be revealed only to those selected to attend, with the sessions set for 2pm, 4pm, and 6pm.
The limited capacity has reportedly sparked complaints from fans, considering TWICE's international fanbase and previous larger anniversary celebrations held at prestigious venues like Seoul's Olympic Hall. The upcoming event also comes amid uncertainty over the individual contracts of the nine members with JYP Entertainment, as all of them renewed their agreements in July 2022.
Jeongyeon reportedly left JYP in August to sign with Varo Entertainment for acting pursuits while staying a TWICE member, while Chaeyoung is said to be exploring separate arrangements for her activities while remaining with the group. This uncertainty regarding the members' individual situations has fueled fan interest in whether the group will address their future during the anniversary gathering.
TWICE, which debuted under JYP Entertainment in October 2015, has since become one of K-pop's most prominent girl groups.
